I prefer OpenVMS DCL to bash, but there is rarely a time when I have to resort to custom code when scripting under linux, the set of tools that have been built over the years pretty much cover everything.<br>
<br>
For example, I have a script which transcodes the HD video from my camcorder into both DVD and Web quality automatically. I even set it up for a while so that simply copying the files to the server would kick off the process.<br>
<br>
I also created my own code to take a directory of images and create a gallery and push it out to the website with the same look and feel. It's all good stuff, and you take the pain up front getting the scripts working, after that it's all plain sailing.<br>
<br>
After all, what are computers for if not to take to drudgery out of our lives.<br>
<br>
I'll try and make the 18th for a change. What are the facilities like for bringing along kit? I have threatened to show up with a VAX before now, just to provide some perspective of what was possible 20 years ago.<br>
